In its early development, the clarinet could not be tuned across the range of the instrument, so the chalumeau was still used for music in the lower range. Later developments in the key work allowed better intonation throughout the range of the clarinet, and the chalumeau register on the clarinet eventually rendered the chalumeau itself ...
Believing that music might be a ticket out of poverty for his sons, Goodman’s father enrolled ten-year-old Goodman and two of his brothers in free music classes, from 1919, at the Kehelah Jacob Synagogue. [4] His older brothers were given a tuba and a trumpet, while Benny, the smallest, got a clarinet.

The modern clarinet did not exist before about 1700. There are, however, a number of concertos written for its antecedent, the chalumeau.. The discovery of six clarinet concertos by Johann Melchior Molter (1696–1765) — the first of which may date from 1743 [5] — and three concerti grossi for clarinet and oboe written by Antonio Vivaldi (1678–1741) as far back as 1711 [6] have led music ...
The main body of most clarinets has an upper joint, whose mechanism is mostly operated by the left hand, and a lower joint, mostly operated by the right hand. [4] Some clarinets have a one-piece body. [4] The modern soprano clarinet has numerous tone holes—seven are covered with the fingertips and the rest are operated using a set of 17 keys. [4]
The "England's King of the Clarinet' tag emerged post-war, when he and his Dixieland band made around 200 recordings for HMV, including signature tunes Hors d'oeuvres, and Clarinet Cadenza. On The Fabulous Mr Phillips (1958, re-issued 2003) he re-visited some of the best known music from his whole career, adding strings to the orchestrations.
Mozart wrote five horn concertos, with two for flute, oboe (later rearranged for flute and known as Flute Concerto No. 2), clarinet, and bassoon, four for horn, a Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra, and Exsultate, jubilate, a de facto concerto for soprano voice. [19]
On the basis of this passage, Denner has been credited by many with the improvement of the chalumeau and the invention of the clarinet. Despite the words "At the beginning of the current century" he is often said to have developed the clarinet in 1690; there is no evidence for this. [2] In fact, J. C. Denner may have built no clarinets at all.
